India is a diverse country with many different cultures, religions, and languages. It has many iconic landmarks and places of natural beauty from the Taj Mahal to the beaches of Goa. The photos in this presentation provide a glimpse into some of the highlights and moments that help define India as a unique and fascinating country to visit.
This document provides a cost benefit analysis for various renewable and efficient energy sources for cities in South Bay, California. It analyzes solar PV, solar thermal, geothermal, tidal/wave power, and energy storage technologies. For each technology, it details the methodology, incentives, and calculations used to determine the internal rate of return, payback period, and levelized cost of energy. It finds that a 4 kW residential solar PV system in Los Angeles would have an 11.7 year payback period and $4,348 net present value based on simulations using the System Advisor Model. A table also compares results from various California cities, finding internal rates of return ranging from 13-25% and payback periods of 5
Human are more inteligent tha other animalsIsmail Khan
This document discusses the differences between human and animal intelligence. It presents the Islamic view that humans are the best of Allah's creations. It also summarizes Darwin's theory that the difference between human and animal intelligence is one of degree, not kind. The document then lists four key differences in human and animal cognition, such as the ability to recombine knowledge and generalize rules. It defines intelligence and lists different types. Unique human traits include humor, appreciation of beauty, self-awareness, understanding of time and morality. The document concludes that humans are more intelligent than animals based on our unique abilities.
Through this slide, you will see how animal communicate with each other, and you will see that each kind of animal has a different way to communicate, which makes animal communication become diversity and very interesting for people to study.
Man is the only animal that can communicate using abstract symbols, though language abilities arose from more primitive communication systems in other animals. The document discusses nine key design features that characterize language and distinguish it from other communication systems. It also analyzes different animal communication systems like birdsong and primate calls based on whether they exhibit traits like semanticity, arbitrariness, productivity that are common in human language.
This document discusses several key properties of human language and compares it to communication systems in animals. It notes that human language allows for references to past, present and future, has arbitrary connections between forms and meanings, and has an infinite potential number of utterances due to its productivity. It also discusses the discreteness and duality of language. The document then provides examples of bird calls and songs, primate communication using gestures, and characteristics of animal communication systems like their signals having set responses and functions, lack of creativity, and transmission without change across generations.
The document discusses several significant inventions from the past decade that have been useful to humanity. It describes the i-LIMB bionic hand, which was the first commercially available multi-articulating prosthetic hand capable of power grip. It also discusses BigDog, an advanced robot created by Boston Dynamics to serve as a pack mule for soldiers, and GPS, the global satellite system that provides location and time information anywhere. Finally, it summarizes inventions such as wireless electricity, bladeless wind turbines, hoverboards, roadable aircraft, military drones, high-speed wireless communication technologies, and near-field communication.

Animal communication and human languageJasmine Wong
This document discusses animal communication and how it compares to human language. It outlines several key properties of human language, including reflexivity, displacement, arbitrariness, productivity, and cultural transmission. While some animals can communicate, their systems have limitations and do not demonstrate true language. Research with great apes that were taught sign language provided some evidence of language abilities, but their communication remained limited. The parrot Alex provided the best evidence that an animal may acquire elements of language, as he learned hundreds of words and could use them productively in novel combinations. However, animal communication systems differ fundamentally from human language.
The document discusses the Large Hadron Collider and water on Mars. It mentions the Eberswalde Delta Martian north polar cap, which contains a water equivalent hydrogen abundance in Mars' high latitudes. It also discusses Eris, a dwarf planet discovered in 2005 that is virtually the same size as Pluto but more massive, and takes 557 years to orbit the sun. Eris was initially classified as a planet when Pluto was reclassified.
Positive thinking brings good results by expecting happiness and success, while negative thinking has the opposite effect. The document provides tips for cultivating positive thinking, such as using positive language, associating with positive people, finding reasons to smile, and believing in yourself. It emphasizes replacing negative thoughts with constructive, happy thoughts. Developing a positive attitude through techniques like these can help achieve goals, attain success more easily, and experience benefits like greater happiness, energy, and inner strength.
The document defines an attitude as a psychological tendency to evaluate an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor. It notes that while attitudes often involve affect or emotions, affect is distinct from the measure of favorability that defines an attitude. Attitudes contain cognitive, affective, and behavioral components, though some views see the cognitive and behavioral aspects as derivative of the underlying affective component.
The document discusses the importance of maintaining a positive attitude. It states that attitude is a mental position relative to thinking and that having a positive attitude can help one achieve goals more easily and experience greater happiness and success in life. Maintaining a positive attitude also makes it easier to focus on positive thoughts and avoid negative thinking. The document provides tips for cultivating a positive attitude such as spreading smiles, focusing on the good in each day, and keeping an open mind.

It provides data on finger sizes, common grips, touch targets, and notes that touch interaction is not just about finger size and pinpoint accuracy. The guidelines include making targets visible and tappable, designing for different screen sizes, leaving space for scrolling, and testing interfaces at scale.
The What If Technique presented by Motivate DesignMotivate Design
Why "What If"...?
The What If Technique tackles the challenge of engaging a creative, disruptive mindset when it comes to design thinking and crafting innovative user experiences.
Thinking disruptively is a disruptive thing to do, which means it's a very hard thing to do, especially when you add in risk-averse business leaders and company cultures, who hold on tight to psychological blocks, corporate lore, and excuse personas that stifle creativity and possibilities (see www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for more details).
The What If Technique offers key steps, tools and examples to help you achieve incremental changes that promote disruptive thinking, overcome barriers to creativity, and lead to big, innovative differences for business leaders, companies, and ultimately user experiences and products.
Let's find out what's what together! Explore your "What Ifs" with us. See www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for details about the What If Technique, studio workshops, the book, case studies and more downloads--including a the sample chapter "Corporate Lore and Blocks to Creativity"

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
